The Muromachi period is a division of Japanese history running from approximately 1336 to 1573.
The period marks the governance of the Muromachi shogunate, which was officially established in 1338 Ashikaga Takauji, two years after the brief Kenmu Restoration (1333–36) of imperial rule was brought to a close. The period ended in 1573 when the 15th and last shogun of this line, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, was driven out of the capital in Kyoto.
The early years from 1336 to 1392 of the period are known as the Northern and Southern Court period. The years from 1465 to 1573 are known as the Warring States period.
